Edited by Orlando Petrini and Guillemond B. Ouellette SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. Infection and colonisation of a host by a fungus include a series of complex processes such as host-recognition, degradation of the host cell wall, and formation of specialized infection enzymes and structures by the fungus, as well as defence structures and compounds by the host. This book examines the morphological and biochemical changes involved in the infection process, and is based on the 6th International Congress of Plant Pathology Symposia Proceedings. Includes 76 photomicrographs printed on high quality enamel stock. 1994; 6" x 9" softcover; 160 pages; 90 illustrations ISBN 0-89054-168-X Table of Contents Gold labeling methods for the ultrastructural localization of host wall and pathogen components; Fine morphology of fungal structures involved in host wall alteration; Cell wall changes in host and nonhost systems: microscopic effects; Wood polysaccharides and their degradation by fungi; Lignin biodegradation in cell walls of woody plants; Fungus-induced degradation and reinforcement of defensive barriers of plants; Fungal chitinases: their properties and roles in morphogenesis, mycoparasitism and control of pathogenic fungi; Plant cell wall structural proteins: regulated expression and roles in fungal infection; Alteration of host cell surfaces by mycorrhizal fungi; Histological studies of host penetration and colonization by endophytic fungi; Literature |
